The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Spain.

Brand: [BYOMA](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/brands/byoma)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with oily skin: shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, and blemishes. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for oily skin; the products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation for your oily skin due to succinic acid and willow bark extract, which aid in smoothing texture and mild seboregulation.
- While providing general skincare benefits like hydration and cleansing, the formula lacks targeted ingredients to effectively address your oily shine concerns.

## What the research says

- A botanical face cleanser with hops and willow bark extract continuously reduced skin sebum levels without reactive seborrhea after treatment in 21 healthy volunteers compared to a sodium laureth sulfate cleanser, with neither cleanser causing skin irritation. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30022595/))
- Treatment with a facial cream gel containing a biotechnological phytocomplex, niacinamide, and succinic acid increased skin microbial diversity and reduced C. acnes abundance, lesion counts, sebum, and acne severity in 44 subjects with mild-moderate acne over 56 days. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39205505/))
- A topical serum containing 0.5% salicin applied twice daily reduced visible signs of skin aging, including wrinkles and tactile roughness, in 30 female subjects over 12 weeks compared to baseline. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20883292/))
- Treatment with a lotion containing a phytocomplex, niacinamide, and succinic acid increased skin microbial alpha diversity, reduced Cutibacterium acnes relative abundance, and improved acne severity and clinical symptoms in 43 subjects with truncal mild-moderate acne. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39044362/))
- Treatment with plant-derived exosomes combined with non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid and succinic acid improved facial hyperpigmentation in two patients. ([Cureus, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41641180/))
- Hyaluronic acid and succinic acid combination induced mitophagy in senescent fibroblasts, promoted adipogenesis, increased IGF1 and decreased TNFA in aged adipocytes, and upregulated COL3A1 and EGF expression. ([International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40806676/))
- Topical chamazulene treatment mitigates UVB-induced photoaging in mouse skin by upregulating fatty acid metabolism genes, restoring fatty acid homeostasis, enhancing non-essential amino acid metabolism, and downregulating the p38 MAPK/COX-2 pathway, likely via PPARα/γ activation. ([Antioxidants, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41300477/))
- Squalane at 0.005-0.015% counteracts UVA-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and collagen metabolism inhibition while stimulating fibroblast migration in human dermal fibroblasts. ([Molecules, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40363772/))
- Plant-derived squalane protected human dermal fibroblasts against UVA-induced damage by counteracting ROS formation, suppressing apoptosis-related proteins p53, caspase-3, caspase-9, and PARP, and restoring the pro-survival p-Akt/mTOR pathway. ([Antioxidants, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40722956/))

## Why other products fit oily skin better

- A panthenol-enriched mask improved skin hydration, regulated sebum, and reduced redness and TEWL across dry sensitive, oily sensitive, and oily acne skin subgroups with excellent tolerance and no adverse reactions. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38366684/))
- Niacinamide and ferulic acid incorporated in a stable multiple emulsion successfully reduced melanin, sebum, and skin erythema while improving skin elasticity and hydration in human skin compared to a placebo. ([BioMed Research International, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35342760/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is BYOMA Smoothing Body Serum a weak match for oily skin?

This serum is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks targeted ingredients like niacinamide, ferulic acid, and zinc PCA to effectively control shine and manage excess oil. A product of this type needs these ingredients, along with ceramides and panthenol, to support the skin barrier and balance oil without causing breakouts.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39205505/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30022595/)

### Which ingredients make this serum a poor fit for oily skin?

This serum is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks targeted ingredients like niacinamide, zinc PCA, and ferulic acid that effectively control excess shine and manage oil production.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39205505/)

### What do Barrier Lipids do for oily skin?

Barrier lipids help oily skin by balancing moisture loss and calming irritation, though this skin type often needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that regulate oil production to prevent breakouts.
Sources: [Metabolites, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40422870/), [Cureus, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40385800/)

### What does Succinic Acid do for oily skin?

Succinic acid helps oily skin by reducing extra oil and clearing up breakouts while keeping the skin balanced. It is a helpful ingredient in formulas that target blemishes and calm redness.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39205505/), [Skin Research and Technology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39044362/)

### Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This treatment serum goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing, though some serums may also be used in the morning. Oily skin needs a product of this type to include targeted ingredients that actively control shine and excess oil.

### Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this serum with retinol, applying the serum first and following with your retinol once it absorbs. Because this is a weak match for oily skin, a product of this type needs targeted oil-controlling ingredients like niacinamide or zinc to effectively address oily shine concerns.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39205505/)

### How often should I use this serum?

This serum is a weak match for oily skin, so you may want to use it cautiously once a week to test your tolerance. When caring for oily skin, products of this type need targeted ingredients that effectively manage excess shine and balance oil production.

### Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for oily skin, but it may not do enough to control your oily shine. Oily skin of this type needs lightweight ingredients like niacinamide and oil-absorbing minerals to help mattify the skin and keep pores clear.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30022595/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39205505/)

### Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (benzyl alcohol, parfum, geraniol, limonene, linalool, and coumarin).
